Assertion (A): A re-entrant corner in a section under torsion is usually filleted.

Reason (R): The membrane must fold sharply into such a corner, giving a very steep slope.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • B.A is true but R is false
  • C.A is false but R is true
  • D.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Answer: D

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason is the analogy applied. Shear stress corresponds to the slope of the soap film, and at a sharp re-entrant corner the film must fold into the angle, giving a locally very steep slope and hence a high stress. A fillet lets the film curve gently instead, which is why filleting is the standard remedy.
